OpenAI & Google vs Photoshop | Weekly Edition

PLUS HOT AI Tools & Tutorials

Mar 28, 2025

Hello and welcome to our weekly roundup!

Ghibli, Ghibli, Ghibli… Just when we did a post on creating and editing images with AI, we got a knife in the back from Sam Altman.

OpenAI has updated ChatGPT with the Image Generation feature. So now the company's GPUs are “melting,” and the entire internet has turned into characters from Hayao Miyazaki animated films.

Let's discuss it.

But you should still check out the post. There are a lot of tools & use cases:

OpenAI & Google vs Photoshop

This guy just released Image Generation for ChatGPT, made a Ghibli-style avatar, and is now watching how your AI image startup dies.

So, there were two major events related to AI and image generation. We'll start with the more significant one. OpenAI has introduced 4o Image Generation.

This is a big update that goes beyond creating primitive pictures with DALL-E. The new feature understands how text relates to visual content, has much more input data, and allows users to make spot edits. Well, and it just generates images better.

You can use it to:

Combine different images and photos
Change styles and backgrounds
Edit small (or large) sections of the images
Add and replace text on photos.

And much more. It all depends on your imagination and tasks. All you need to do is be a ChatGPT Plus or Pro subscriber. (Free users will get access later)

But as you've probably noticed, the imagination of the whole internet is limited to the Ghibli-style characters. Can't blame them; I've also created a couple.

The bottom line is that with this release, OpenAI has closed the need for Photoshop for most users. And the remaining part (professional designers, marketers, and so on) were either very impressed or scared.

Even OpenAI was surprised to see such a strong reaction. Altman said on X that their GPUs are melting because of request numbers.

Now, you can prepare a physical product shot with several prompts, draw a logo and icons for your app, or generate unique assets for motion design or a video game.

And what's funny is that it's not just OpenAI that has hit this area lately.

Google Actually Was The First

One important point has gotten a little lost behind the hype around ChatGPT. In the same month, Google also launched a new Image Editor feature that allows you to generate and edit visual content. And it did so a couple of weeks ahead of OpenAI.

Google released an update for its Gemini 2.0 series, bringing native image generation. This update lets you generate high-quality pictures from text prompts and engage in conversational editing.

To avoid repeating myself, I'll just say that the new Gemini model does the same thing as ChatGPT. At the time of release, this solution had no analogs, so we devoted much time to it in our post about image editing with AI.

Earlier this week, I was testing Gemini. And the last 24 hours I spent embracing image generation from OpenAI. During this time, I realized that we are dealing with a major milestone in developing AI models.
We definitely have a lot to talk about more thoroughly. So now we are preparing a new post that will cover use cases, features, and hacks for 4o image generation.
See you on Monday!

Google Unveils Gemini 2.5 Pro

Google unveiled Gemini 2.5, its newest AI model designed to enhance problem-solving through improved reasoning and coding skills. The Gemini 2.5 Pro Experimental version leads in math, science, and programming benchmarks and supports a one-million-token context window. It is now available on Google AI Studio and the Gemini app, with Vertex AI integration set for a future release.

If you want to understand all aspects of the Gemini ecosystem, we have a suitable post on this topic: https://thecreatorsai.com/p/gemini-the-complete-guide-to-googles

OpenAI Embraces MCP to Streamline Data Integration

OpenAI has decided to adopt the Model Context Protocol (MCP), an open-source standard promoted by Anthropic. Sam Altman confirmed that MCP support will soon appear in products such as the ChatGPT desktop app and the Agents SDK, with plans to add it to the Responses API later. This change will let developers link their applications to external data sources and tools using one consistent interface.

MCP really reduces the need for custom solutions.

Microsoft Adds Deep Research Tools to Copilot

Microsoft has introduced its Deep Research to Microsoft 365 Copilot. Like tools from OpenAI, Google, xAI and many others, it allows you to use reasoning models to create detailed reports on various topics with links to original sources. In Microsoft's case, the tool is divided into two: Research and Analyst.

The first combines OpenAI's deep research model with “advanced orchestration” and “deep search capabilities.” And the second is built on OpenAI's o3-mini reasoning model and is “optimized to do advanced data analysis.” Copilot subscribers can try the feature now.

Looks like we'll have to remake the Deep Research post soon. It's still relevant, though:
